On this page I will be exposing the hypocrisy of the Republican Party when it comes to family values. They claim to be the party of family values, but in reality often have reprehensibly low standards when it comes to family values. This is not to say that Democrats are perfect when it comes to family values, they obviously aren't, but it appears that Democrats appear to be normal human beings with normal problems. Republicans appear to have worse "family values" than Democrats in practice, despite their claims that they believe in family values, they don't seem to practice them very well. And I'm not saying that 100% of the activities listed below are wrong or immoral (obviously, homosexuality is not), but I'm saying that denying onesself and being a hypocrite about the family values you claim to have is. [ I AGREE WITH THIS WRITER. I have no problem with private relationships between consenting adults, but I do have problems with two faced hypocrites who publically avow high moral values in order to promote themselves politically yet privately betray those values . I have no problem with practising homosexuals but I do have a problem with those who are gay-orientated in private but publically persecute gays. I have severe problems with child molesters and abusers. WA]

Adelphia Communications Corp.: Donated large sums of money to some of the most conservative members of Congress. They are also the first cable company to offer hard-core adult movies to subscribers. (Kos, 2.8.05)

***Edison Misla Aldarondo: The Republican legislator was sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping his daughter between the ages of 9 and 17. (ArmSub, 7.13.05)

***Randal David Ankeney, Colorado: was arrested in 2001 on suspicion of sexual assault on a child with force, sexual assault on a child, sexual exploitation of a child, marijuana possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Lured 13-year-old girl to his apartment, plied her with booze and pot, photographed her topless, then had sex with her. After his arrest, a second girl -- a 17-year-old campaign worker -- charged him with sexual assault. In 2002, he pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault on a child. (Salon, 1.1.04)

Dick Armey, Texas: Three women who had been students of Armey's reported that he engaged in inappropriate behavior. Armey's second wife had been one of his students. (Flynt - 47)

Bob Barr, Georgia: Is on his third marriage. (Salon). Photographs show him licking whipped cream off the breast of a stripper. Allegedly lied under oath about adulterous sex during a 1986 deposition. Dumped his second wife Gail and their two sons (ages 5 and 4) just before Thanksgiving in 1985. When Gail was diagnosed with breast cancer, she asked her husband to stop campaigning for the statehouse, but he refused. He never attended chemotherapy treatments with his wife. (Flynt - 20). His second wife Gail believes that he was having an affair with his future third wife Jeri while he and Gail were still married. (Flynt - 22). Allegedly condoned and paid for an abortion for his then-wife. (Flynt - 24)

***Merrill Robert Barter: The Republican County Commissioner pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact and assault on a teenage boy. (ArmSub, 7.13.05)

Gary Bauer, former presidential candidate: Nine members of Bauer's staff quit, including Charles Jarvis, Bauer's campaign manager, and Tim McDonald, former chief of advance operations. Jarvis and McDonald have said publicly that they resigned in protest of Gary Bauer's "inappropriate" behavior in travelling alone and spending time behind closed doors with a 26-year-old deputy campaign manager. Jarvis says that he and others in the campaign warned Bauer several times "in the clearest possible terms" that he was creating "the appearance of impropriety" by spending "hours and hours and hours behind closed doors with a young single woman." Neither Jarvis nor McDonald has directly claimed that sex occurred, though. An unnamed source in the Bauer campaign said that Bauer has been traveling alone with this hot 26-year old blond (deputy campaign manager Melissa McClard) on a daily basis and the two have been so inseparable that it was like a "husband-wife relationship." This source said that rumors of an affair have circulated inside the campaign for months, and that several people told the candidate of their concern. "Bauer told them basically to buzz off -- that it was his personal business," the source said. Other staff members who quit include media consultant Tom Edwards and Betty Barrett, who was Bauer's secretary for 15 years. They declined comment. (SC)

Robert Bauman, Marlyand: Married dad of four pleaded not guilty in 1980 a charge of committing oral sodomy on a teenage boy in Washington. (Salon, 1.1.04)

Bill Bennett: Few vices have escaped Bennett's withering scorn. He has opined on everything from drinking to "homosexual unions" to "The Ricki Lake Show" to wife-swapping. There is one, however, that has largely escaped Bennett's wrath: gambling. This is a notable omission, since on this issue morality and public policy are deeply intertwined. During Bennett's years as a public figure, casinos, once restricted to Nevada and New Jersey, have expanded to 28 states, and the number continues to grow. In Maryland, where Bennett lives, the newly elected Republican governor Robert Ehrlich is trying to introduce slot machines to fill revenue shortfalls. As gambling spreads, so do its associated problems. Heavy gambling, like drug use, can lead to divorce, domestic violence, child abuse, and bankruptcy. According to a 1998 study commissioned by the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, residents within 50 miles of a casino are twice as likely to be classified as "problem" or "pathological" gamblers than those who live further away. If Bennett hasn't spoken out more forcefully on an issue that would seem tailor-made for him, perhaps it's because he is himself a heavy gambler. Indeed, in recent weeks word has circulated among Washington conservatives that his wagering could be a real problem. They have reason for concern. The Washington Monthly and Newsweek have learned that over the last decade Bennett has made dozens of trips to casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, where he is a "preferred customer" at several of them, and sources and documents provided to The Washington Monthly put his total losses at more than $8 million. A review of one 18-month stretch of gambling showed him visiting casinos, often for two or three days at a time (and enjoying a line of credit of at least $200,000 at several of them). Bennett likes to be discreet. "He'll usually call a host and let us know when he's coming," says one source. "We can limo him in. He prefers the high-limit room, where he's less likely to be seen and where he can play the $500-a-pull slots. He usually plays very late at night or early in the morning--usually between midnight and 6 a.m." Despite his personal appetites, Bennett and his organization, Empower America, oppose the extension of casino gambling in the states. In a recent editorial, his Empower America co-chair Jack Kemp inveighed against lawmakers who "pollute our society with a slot machine on every corner." The group recently published an Index of Leading Cultural Indicators, with an introduction written by Bennett, that reports 5.5 million American adults as "problem" or "pathological" gamblers. Bennett says he is neither because his habit does not disrupt his family life. Bill Bennett's teensy little seven-figure gambling habit also mentions that he regularly plays (or at least played until recently) a private poker game with Robert Bork and Supreme Court Justices and fellow avatars of morality Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist. Which, under DC law, is punishable by jail. (WM, 6.03). Apparently, Bennett is also an excessive smoker. (OTK, 5.5.03) "I happen to know that several major news organizations have for some time been looking into claims about portly conservative moralizer William Bennett and a leather-bound dominatrix bodybuilder in Las Vegas, a woman who has some very interesting narratives to recount. What news organizations? The top five that come to your mind are on the list. Some reporters have even traveled far and wide on this story. Does this mean the story is true? No. It is "developing," as our favorite cybergossip character assassin likes to say, and it may go nowhere." (NYP, 2.17.04)[hypocrite]

John Bolton: Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “The first Mrs. Bolton’s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton’s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations,” said Mr. Flynt. “The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.” (Raw, 5.11.05)

Mary Bono, California: Allegedly engaged in a torrid love affair prior to the death of her husband Sonny. (Flynt - 8) Looks like the cat's out of the bag on Cher's late ex-husband's widow and the dashing freshman Rep. Connie Mack IV (R-Fla.). Rumors have been swirling for weeks now about Rep. Mary Bono (R-Calif.) and Mack, both of whom recently filed for divorce from their spouses. On Friday, a wire service had more nerve than HOH and printed the rumor that Bono and Mack are an item, something neither House Member denied. The Scripps Howard News Service reported that "romance may be in the air" for Bono and Mack, the son of former Sen. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) and great-grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer Connie Mack (all of whose legal names are Cornelius McGillicuddy). Mack's chief of staff, Jeff Cohen, told HOH on Monday that "Connie's marriage was in trouble for a long time, which is why he filed for divorce in August. But beyond that, he doesn't feel it's appropriate to discuss his personal life." Mack and his wife, Ann, have two children, ages 5 and 3. Cohen did not deny that the hunky Congressman is seeing the fetching widow of one of America's most famous pop-culture icons. Asked whether they are "dating" or "seeing each other," Cohen said, "The statement stands for itself." Nor did Bono's chief of staff, Frank Cullen, deny the rumored relationship. "Out of respect for what my boss is dealing with ... I'm not going to comment on that situation or other aspects of her life," he told HOH. He said he and the rest of Bono's staff are "just trying to support her." Cullen said Bono and her husband, Glenn Baxley, a Western-wear designer and former farm-league baseball player, have "mutually agreed to separate and have this divorce proceeding move forward." Bono, whose two children with the late singer are now 17 and 14, has been married to Baxley since November 2001. She filed for divorce last month. Her chief of staff described the couple's break-up as "amicable." It seems that most folks in the Florida and California delegations are withholding judgment, at least publicly, on whatever is going on between the Congressman and Congresswoman. But one freshman Member expressed disappointment with his classmate, saying through his spokesman, "When you got two kids, it's just not worth it." (BBWW, 10.20.05)

Mike Bowers, Georgia: Admitted to a longtime extramarital affair. Had the former Georgia attorney general had a 10-year relationship with a state employee. (CSM)

Karl Brabenec, California Young Republican: Made a name for himself by distributing fliers at 2003 Young Republicans national convention for "Karlpalooza '03," party offering "lots of beer, liquor and sex." (Salon, 1.1.04)

***Howard L. Brooks: The Republican staffer was charged with molesting a 12-year old boy and possession of child pornography. (Kos, 3.24.04)

Pat Buchanan, former presidential candidate: Right before he turned 21 was pulled over, cursed out two police officers, resisted arrest and then kicked one of the police officers in the ass." (Franken - 172). Pat Buchanan, former presidential candidate: Buchanan himself said that in 1960, when he was 21, the draft board rejected him because he had Reiter's syndrome. What's that, you ask? It's a form of arthritis usually caused by chlamydia, a venereal disease (at least in America. In third world countries, a form of dysentery is the most common cause.) When pressed, a Buchanan aide said that if, indeed, sexual contact is the only way to get Reiter's, Buchanan would never have admitted it. That's an honest if cynical response, but it assumes that Buchanan knows what causes Reiter's. He also could have had chlamydia for years, even to this day, without knowing it; chlamydia often has no symptoms, especially in men. Notice also that this aide's statement is not a denial. The Buchanan campaign has refused to confirm or deny whether Pat has had chlamydia or any other venereal diseases. (SC)

Christopher Buckley, who sends up a philandering President in his new novel, "No Way to Treat a First Lady," is learning more about sex scandals - probably more than he wants. The married writer is embroiled in a paternity action with PR woman Irina Woelfle over her 2-year-old son, Jonathan. Woelfle, 40, formerly worked at Random House, which published "Thank You for Smoking," one of Buckley's five novels. Woelfle's lawyer Ed Nusbaum tells us that Buckley, the 50-year-old son of conservative pundit William F. Buckley Jr., "voluntarily agreed" to a DNA test, which established him as Jonathan's father. Buckley also took it upon himself to file suit recently in Stamford (Conn.) Superior Court. Nusbaum says that the journalist and former speechwriter to President George H.W. Bush is seeking "to establish what child support should be paid." "The amount being being paid now is inadequate," claims Nusbaum, who says that Woelfle and Buckley also disagree "over when he became aware of his paternity." Nusbaum adds that "at this juncture there has been no contact between Buckley and Jonathan - by his choice. Overtures were made by Irina, which he rejected." Buckley is also seeking to have the court file sealed and have the case labeled anonymously as "John and Jane Doe," according to Nusbaum, whose client is opposing that motion. (NYDN, 12.24.02)

***Andrew Buhr: The Republican politician was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy with a 13-year old boy. (ArmSub, 7.13.05)

Ted Bundy: He was a handsome, charming, urbane and extrovert graduate, who did charity work and campaigned for the Republican Party in the USA - Ted Bundy did not fit the bill as a serial killer. And that was his great advantage. Friends, relatives and even detectives instinctively shied away from following up their suspicions about him. The women he killed also did not suspect a thing until it was too late ...Killed at least 16 victims. (BBC, 7.13.05) [A perverted monsterous killer]

Jim Bunn, Oregon: With his success due in great part to support from the Christian Coalition, Bunn won his congressional seat, then immediately ditched his wife (and mother of his five children), married a staffer, and put his new wife on the state payroll for the unheard-of salary of $97,500. (Salon, 1.1.04) [A corrupt scumbag]

***William Wesley Burmeister: The son of an influential Augusta lawmaker is in the Richmond County Jail on child molestation charges. William Wesley Burmeister, 23, of Clayton County was arrested in an aggravated child molestation case, said Richmond County sheriff's Maj. Ken Autry. Burmeister is the eldest of four children of Rep. Sue Burmeister (R-Augusta). The lawmaker, a conservative Christian, has carried some of the Republican Party's most important legislation, including HB 188, requiring the publication of photographs of convicted sex offenders in local newspapers. Burmeister ushered that bill to final passage. (AJC, 4.1.05)

***John Allen Burt, anti-abortion activist: A six-day search for him began last based on charges of sexual misconduct asserted by two teenage girls who were living at Our Father's House, Burt's so-called home for "unwed mothers," according to the Pensacola News Journal. John Burt has a long history of connections to violence against abortion clinics in the Pensacola area. He has been arrested numerous times for his participation disruptive protests and clinic invasions. A 1986 invasion led by Burt was the impetus for the NOW v. Scheidler case. Burt led protests in Pensacola on behalf of two couples that bombed three local clinics on Christmas Day in 1984, according to the Sarasota Herald Tribune. Burt was outside the Pensacola clinic when an Our Father's House volunteer, Michael Griffin, murdered Dr. David Gunn in 1993. Griffin's family later claimed that John Burt had manipulated Griffin. Burt is also an associate of Paul Hill who murdered Dr. Bayard Britton and volunteer escort James Barrett outside another local Pensacola clinic in 1994. Burt is on film helping Paul Hill identify Dr. Britton outside the clinic in the weeks before Hill shot and killed Dr. Britton and his clinic escort. (FMF, 6.11.03) [Anti-abortion but ok to rape and murder]

Dan Burton, Indiana: Admitted that he had fathered a child out of wedlock during an extramarital affair. (Flynt - 42). "Republicans and Democrats alike from that era recall ceaseless complaints from female staffers fed up with fending off Burton's sexual advances." (Flynt - 43). Several people report that Burton had sex with his assistant to the administrative assistant. A female lobbyist from Planned Parenthood claimed that Burton stuck his hand up her skirt. Numerous sources claim tha tBurton maintained sexual relationships with women on his Congressional and campaign payrolls. Ex-model Claudia Keller claims to have been romantically involved with Burton. (Flynt - 43)

George H.W. Bush, former president: Allegedly engaged in an affair with an aide, Jennifer Fitzgerald, while serving as vice president. (Flynt - 56). For the May 29th issue of the Rolling Stone, Ashton Kutcher shares tidbits from his sometimes loco life - including an unforgettable party with the Bush gals. He tells Rolling Stone: "So we're hanging out ... The Bushes were underage drinking at my house. When I checked outside, one of the Secret Service guys asked me if they'd be spending the night. I said no. And then I go upstairs to see another friend and I can smell the green wafting out under his door. I open the door, and there he is smoking out the Bush twins on his hookah." (ET, 5.6.03)

George W. Bush, Texas: Alleged cocaine abuser and alcoholic before reforming; reportedly paid for an abortion in his younger days; several allegations of drunken driving, alleged affair with Tammy Phillips. (Salon, 1.1.04) [also accused of rape; see previous post]

His 24-year-old daughter Noelle was jailed for having prescription pills while in a treatment center, violating a court-ordered drug treatment plan. (AP, 7.17.02). Noelle, was sentenced to 10 days in jail after being accused of having crack cocaine in her shoe while in drug rehab. (AP, 10.17.02) Appointed former a former Playboy bunny to several government posts while allegedly having an affair with her. (Salon, 1.1.04) The youngest son of Florida Gov.

(MSNBC, 9.17.05)

Neil Bush: The president's younger brother and his estranged wife signed an "amicable, irrevocable" mediated divorce settlement ending 23 years of marriage, Neil Bush's lawyer said. All that remains for Neil and Sharon Bush, who have three teenage children, is for a formal divorce decree to be drafted and filed at the Harris County courthouse. (AP, 4.17.03) Admitted to cheating on his ex-wife with "three or four" different women, it was alleged. Bush told of the affairs during leaked video depositions to lawyers representing his former wife, Sharon. The father-of-three said: "I had sexual intercourse with perhaps three or four - I don't remember the exact number - women at different times." The affairs took place while he was on business trips to the Far East, according to a report in the New York Times. Bush allegedly told the lawyers: "In Thailand once, I have pretty clear recollection that there was one time in Thailand and Hong Kong." (Mirror, 7.14.03) The following events took place while he was married. "I had sexual intercourse with perhaps three or four, I don't remember the exact number, women, at different times. In Thailand once, I have a pretty clear recollection that there was one time in Thailand and in Hong Kong." (NYDN, 1.1.04)

Paul Crouch, televangelist: First, extortion seems like the only word to describe what Enoch Lonnie Ford, the former TBN employee who says he and Crouch had extramarital sex in 1996, attempted. Crouch paid him a $425,000 settlement in 1998 after Ford accused the global network of wrongful termination. (ChT, 9.13.04) [Hypocrite; denounces gays publically, practises in private. Violate Christian values of TBN ]

***Richard Anthony Delgaudio, Maryland: A prominent Republican fund-raiser who once said former President Bill Clinton was "a lawbreaker and a terrible example to our nation's young people" pleaded guilty in Baltimore Circuit Court to production of child pornography. Delgaudio, who was sentenced to two years' probation before judgment, admitted to taking lewd photographs of a 16-year-old girl he met in East Baltimore's Patterson Park in 2001.

He is president of the Legal Affairs Council, a group that helped pay the legal bills of former Reagan administration officials Oliver L. North and Caspar W. Weinberger after they were charged in connection with the Iran-contra affair. In his pornography case, there was additional evidence that Delgaudio took erotic images of at least one other, younger teen-ager, but that evidence was not admissible in court because police improperly stopped and searched Delgaudio, a judge ruled.

Frank T. Devine, Illinois: This week, federal authorities filed a 12-count complaint against Frank T.

Bob Dole married Phyllis Holden, a sweet, unambitious woman from a successful New England family. She bore him a daughter, Robin, though most voters probably have no idea he is a father. Robin is not a big part of his life, and Dole himself has said "I don't think I really knew her well. I was there for ceremonial things in school. But mostly they [Phyllis and Robin] were here and I was not." Bob did make his decision, and he stayed married to politics, often coming home at midnight, leaving at 5 am the next morning. His marriage naturally suffered, and in 1971 he asked Phyllis for a divorce, out of the blue, no discussion. During the last year of their marriage, she has said, he was only home for supper 4 nights. (SC)

Bob Dornan, former presidential candidate: His wife Sallie has left him 3 or 4 times, and alleged in several aborted divorce suits over 16 years that he beat her. For example, in her 1961 divorce suit she stated under oath that he "dragged her about the home... by her hair and ... exhibited a revolver." In June 1966, Dornan was found guilty of a "violent attack" on his wife and was ordered to go to jail, though police records do not show him actually serving any time. (SC)

***Brian J. Doyle: The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said. Brian J. Doyle, 55, of Silver Spring, Md., was arrested on charges of use of a computer to seduce a child and transmission of harmful material to a minor. The charges were issued out of Polk County, Fla. Doyle had a sexually explicit conversation with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl whose profile he saw on the Internet on March 14, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. The girl was an undercover Polk County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective, the sheriff's office said. Doyle sent the girl pornographic movie clips and had sexually explicit conversations via the Internet, the statement said. During other online conversations, Doyle revealed his name, that he worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and offered his office and government issued cell phone numbers, the sheriff's office said. On several occasions, Doyle instructed her to perform a sexual act while thinking of him and described explicit activities he wanted to have with her, investigators said. Homeland Security press secretary Russ Knocke in Washington said he could not comment on the details of the investigation. "We take these allegations very seriously, and we will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation," Knocke said. (AP)

David Dreier, California: A Republican congressman from California who has repeatedly voted against gay rights measures is said to be gay himself, and at least three MediaNews Group newspapers are said to have instructed its reporters not to ask questions about the congressman's sexuality or how it relates to public policy. Brad Smith, Dreier’s chief of staff with whom he is said to have lived, is paid an unusually high salary relative to the chief of staffs of other powerful congressmen, including Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

Mike Ferguson: In his dark suit, knotted tie and official congressional ID pin on his lapel, Republican House member Mike Ferguson looked out of place at the Rhino Bar and Pumphouse, a Georgetown saloon popular with college kids. "He shouldn't have even been at the bar," 21-year-old Georgetown University junior Michelle Mezoe told us. "He and his group" - two unidentified staffers, also wearing suits - "stuck out like sore thumbs." Yesterday Mezoe accused the congressman, a 32-year-old married father of three representing New Jersey's 7th District, of grabbing her in the wee hours Wednesday morning. She said Ferguson removed his ID pin and handed it to her, saying she could keep it if she would "come back and have a drink with me." Mezoe said she refused to return it unless Ferguson apologized for his "disrespectful" behavior. An apology was not forthcoming. (WP, 4.4.03)

***Frank Figueroa: The former head of the Department of Homeland Security's program to stop child predators (Operation Predator), today pleaded no contest to charges he exposed himself to a 16-year-old girl.

Newt Gingrich, Georgia: Visited his wife when she was recovering from cancer surgery. Gingrich brought along their two daughters and a yellow legal pad with his terms for a divorce. (Franken - 44). After his divorce from Jackie, Newt Gingrich was late with his alimony payments and she had to take him to court twice to provide adequate support for her and the girls and that her church had to take up a colection ot help them get by. (Franken - 45). "We would have won in 1974 if we could have kept him out of the office, screwing her [a young volunteer] on the desk." - Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler at the time. Several newspapers reported that Newt Gingrich was dating and basically living with Callista Bisek, a "willowy blond Congressional aide 23 years his junior." Biske, 33, was spending nights at Gingrich's apartment near the Capitol and had her own key. In an amazing act of hypocrisy, Gingrich was apparently dating Bisek all during Clinton-Lewinsky adultery scandal, even as he proclaimed family values and bitterly criticized the President for his adultery. Reporters and other Washington insiders have known about this relationship since 1994, even before Gingrich became Speaker of the House, but did not have any solid proof to report. In 1995, Vanity Fair magazine described Bisek as Gingrich's "frequent breakfast companion." Gingrich was married to Marianne Gingrich during all of that time, and just filed for divorce in August 1999. This is hardly the first time Newt has cheated, either. "It was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his [first] marriage to Jackie. Maybe not on the level of John Kennedy. But he had girlfriends -- some serious, some trivial." -- Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 70s. One woman, Anne Manning (who was married at the time), has come forward and confirmed a relationship with him during the 1976 campaign. "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" Kip Carter, his former campaign treasurer, was walking Newt's daughters back from a football game one day and cut across a driveway where he saw a car. "As I got to the car, I saw Newt in the passenger seat and one of the guys' wives with her head in his lap going up and down. Newt kind of turned and gave me this little-boy smile. Fortunately, Jackie Sue and Kathy were a lot younger and shorter then." (SC). According to the The Irish Times , Newt's decision to resign was actually based on his discovery that Larry Flynt had uncovered some very damaging personal information. Flynt had begun "negotiating with several parties, people described as having an association with a prostitution ring, for a series of credit card receipts that showed Mr Gingrich paying for services. In the midst of that negotiation, Mr Gingrich resigned suddenly." (RA). Asked the Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta for an annulment of his second marriage, which ended in divorce after 19 years. Gingrich's second wife, Marianne Gingrich, said through her attorney that she learned of the request this week when she received a letter from the archdiocese. The couple were divorced in April 2000, nine months after Newt Gingrich filed for divorce and acknowledged a seven-year affair with Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide. Gingrich and Bisek were married in August 2000. (AP, 5.10.02)

***Philip Giordano, the Republican mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut, was arrested on two federal charges dealing with "sexual activity" involving a child, the FBI said. Special agent Lisa Bull said the mayor was arrested on two offenses: The use of an interstate facility to entice a child under the age of 16 to engage in sexual activity, and conspiracy to carry out that offense. (CNN 2, 7.26.01)The former Waterbury, Connecticut mayor was convicted on 17 out of 18 counts on his indictment. Counts 1 and 2 were for the following: "Philip A. Giordano, while acting under color of the laws of the state of Connecticut, willfully deprived the victim of rights and privileges secured and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States. That includes the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, which includes the right to be free from aggravated sexual abuse and sexual abuse. He violated this by coercing and forcing the victim, who was younger than 12, to engage in oral sex and genital contact with him and by fondling her, resulting in bodily injury." (CCB, 3.26.03)

Matt Glavin, former Southeastern Legal Foundation President: Glavin was charged back in May with public indecency for allegedly masturbating in public at the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area on Medlock Bridge road in North Fulton County. An undercover federal police officer reported that Glavin fondled him after he encountered the activist pleasuring himself. And it wasn't the first time that Glavin had been caught doing this in the same park. In 1996, Glavin quietly pleaded "no contest" to charges of public indecency after being caught in an identical situation. (CLoaf, 10.14.00) [Pervert]

***Marty Glickman, commentator/editor/publisher: Seven years ago," wrote Tallahassee political commentator Marty Glickman (aka Republican Marty) in his newsletter The Ugly Truth, "a rednecked, classless pervert named Clinton from a low rent state like Arkansas was tearing down all standards for the highest office in the land... Decency, morals, telling the truth, and standing accountable were all American values that were on the line. With a rapist, a liar, and a sexual harasser and his First Enabler Hillary Clinton in charge; the country and it's children were perilously close to sinking beneath recovery." Harsh words, but we hope they taste good - because Republican Marty sure is eating them right now. Last week he was taken into custody by Florida police on four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a juvenile and one count of the delivery of LSD. Yes, it turns out that Marty was doing his own bit to help the children of America by giving drugs and money to underage girls in exchange for sex. (DU, 4.23.01)

Dr. W. David Hager: Sex was always a source of conflict in the marriage. Though it wasn't emotionally satisfying for her, Davis says she soon learned that sex could "buy" peace with Hager after a long day of arguing, or insure his forgiveness after she spent too much money. "Sex was coinage; it was a commodity," she said. Sometimes Hager would blithely shift from vaginal to anal sex. Davis protested. "He would say, 'Oh, I didn't mean to have anal sex with you; I can't feel the difference,'" Davis recalls incredulously. "And I would say, 'Well then, you're in the wrong business.'" By the 1980s, according to Davis, Hager was pressuring her to let him videotape and photograph them having sex. She consented, and eventually she even let Hager pay her for sex that she wouldn't have otherwise engaged in--for example, $2,000 for oral sex, "though that didn't happen very often because I hated doing it so much. So though it was more painful, I would let him sodomize me, and he would leave a check on the dresser," Davis admitted to me with some embarrassment. This exchange took place almost weekly for several years. For the next seven years Hager sodomized Davis without her consent while she slept roughly once a month until their divorce in 2002, she claims. "My sense is that he saw [my narcolepsy] as an opportunity," Davis surmises. Sometimes she fought Hager off and he would quit for a while, only to circle back later that same night; at other times, "the most expedient thing was to try and somehow get it [over with]. In order to keep any peace, I had to maintain the illusion of being available to him." At still other moments, she says, she attempted to avoid Hager's predatory advances in various ways--for example, by sleeping in other rooms in the house, or by struggling to stay awake until Hager was in a deep sleep himself. But, she says, nothing worked. One of Davis's lifelong confidantes remembers when Davis first told her about the abuse. "[Linda] was very angry and shaken," she recalled.

The breakdown of the American family, he said, was a critical national issue. Hutchinson won fairly comfortably, with 53 percent of the vote, the first Republican since Reconstruction to capture a Senate seat in heavily Democratic Arkansas. Again, Hutchinson is identifying himself as a conservative, family-values Republican. The problem is that in 1999 Hutchinson, now 52, divorced his wife of 29 years, Donna, with whom he had three sons, and shortly afterward married a former member of his office staff, Randi Fredholm, now 39.

He initiated the affair by telling Snodgrass he was single. (Flynt - 39). He apparently broke up the Snodgrass family. In 1983, after a yearlong investigation by the House Ethics Committee, Crane was found to have engaged in an illicit sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl working as a congressional page. When the question of whether the House should expel, censure or merely reprimand Crane reached the floor, Hyde popped up to beg mercy for his friend. "We sit here not to characterize the crime, the breach, the transgression, because we all know the transgression, which is admitted and it is stipulated as reprehensible." Even so, Hyde pleaded, "In searching our souls for the appropriate punishment, I ask the members to consider this situation in its totality, in its entire context."

The baby, named Lisa, was born in 1975. But Kerik deserted her and her mother when he left the country in February 1976. (KORT, 12.5.04) Conducted two extramarital affairs simultaneously, using a secret Battery Park City apartment for the passionate liaisons, the New York Daily News has learned. The first relationship, spanning nearly a decade, was with city Correction Officer Jeannette Pinero; the second was with famed publishing titan Judith Regan. His affair with Regan, the head of her own book publishing company, lasted for almost a year. (Eschaton, 12.13.04) Then there's the story that celebrity book publisher Judith Regan had to hire a personal bodyguard when Kerik started 'hounding' her after their relationship went sour. (TPM, 12.12.04) Investigators conducting a background check of Bernard Kerik last week as part of his confirmation hearing uncovered that the then-Secretary of Homeland Security nominee was married to a woman he has apparently kept a secret for the past 20 years. Friends of his said they were not aware of the woman, and Kerik did not acknowledge the marriage in his best-selling autobiography, "The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice." Instead, he wrote about only two marriages, one to a New Jersey woman named Jacqueline, whom he married in 1983 when he was 28, and one to his current wife, Hala, whom he married in 1998. But Kerik, who withdrew his name for consideration for the nation's top security post on Friday, was also married to the former Linda Hales in North Carolina. Kerik and Hales, who has since remarried and changed her name to Priest, were married Aug. 10, 1978, when she was 27 and he was three weeks shy of 24, according to her lawyer, Ronnie Mitchell. They separated in 1982 and were officially divorced June 6, 1983, Mitchell told Newsday.

Connie Mack (III): Looks like the cat's out of the bag on Cher's late ex-husband's widow and the dashing freshman Rep. Connie Mack IV (R-Fla.). Rumors have been swirling for weeks now about Rep. Mary Bono (R-Calif.) and Mack, both of whom recently filed for divorce from their spouses. On Friday, a wire service had more nerve than HOH and printed the rumor that Bono and Mack are an item, something neither House Member denied. The Scripps Howard News Service reported that "romance may be in the air" for Bono and Mack, the son of former Sen. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) and great-grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer Connie Mack (all of whose legal names are Cornelius McGillicuddy). Mack's chief of staff, Jeff Cohen, told HOH on Monday that "Connie's marriage was in trouble for a long time, which is why he filed for divorce in August. But beyond that, he doesn't feel it's appropriate to discuss his personal life." Mack and his wife, Ann, have two children, ages 5 and 3. Cohen did not deny that the hunky Congressman is seeing the fetching widow of one of America's most famous pop-culture icons. Asked whether they are "dating" or "seeing each other," Cohen said, "The statement stands for itself." Nor did Bono's chief of staff, Frank Cullen, deny the rumored relationship. "Out of respect for what my boss is dealing with ... I'm not going to comment on that situation or other aspects of her life," he told HOH. He said he and the rest of Bono's staff are "just trying to support her." Cullen said Bono and her husband, Glenn Baxley, a Western-wear designer and former farm-league baseball player, have "mutually agreed to separate and have this divorce proceeding move forward." Bono, whose two children with the late singer are now 17 and 14, has been married to Baxley since November 2001. She filed for divorce last month. Her chief of staff described the couple's break-up as "amicable." It seems that most folks in the Florida and California delegations are withholding judgment, at least publicly, on whatever is going on between the Congressman and Congresswoman. But one freshman Member expressed disappointment with his classmate, saying through his spokesman, "When you got two kids, it's just not worth it." (BBWW, 10.20.05)

Malone took his shirt off and got a belt from his room, according to the report and police records. When the boy tried to explain why he was late to the checkpoint, Malone said he didn't want to hear it and told his son to turn around, take off his shirt and pull his pants down, the statement said. Malone is accused of hitting the boy several times with the belt. The hospital records detail bruising to his chest, arms, back and buttocks. The boy told police he fell at one point and Malone continued to hit him. "I pay for your school, and you bring home poor grades," Malone told his son during the beating, according to the boy's statement. "You're not paying attention." When his father stopped hitting him, the boy told police Malone told him he wasn't finished with him, adding: "I'm going to whip the black off you." (BBB, 7.6.05)

Dan Quayle, former vice president: On March 6, 1981 the Wilmington, Delaware News-Journal reported that Paula Parkinson, a Washington D.C. agricultural lobbyist took a Florida vacation, and shared a cottage, with Quayle and Republican Congressmen Thomas Evans and and Tom Railsback. Parkinson, who later posed for Playboy and claimed affairs with at least 5 Congressmen, was apparently a very persuasive lobbyist; she was then fighting federal crop-insurance legislation and all three voted against it. Quayle denied having sex with her, and she confirmed that, though only because she was sleeping with Evans at the time. However, she said about Quayle that "We flirted a lot and danced extremely close and suggestively. He said he wanted to make love." In his own defense, Quayle said: "I hope there's some respect and dignity for things I did not do." So what's worse - cheating on your wife or dirty dancing with another woman and trying to cheat on your wife, but getting rejected? (SC)

***Jeffrey Kyle Randall, Minnesota: A former mayor of Clarkfield has been sentenced to nine months in jail and six years on probation on charges that he molested two boys from 1997 to 2003. Jeffrey Kyle Randall, 36, of Clarkfield, also must register as a sex offender and undergo evaluation and treatment, a judge ordered Thursday. Randall entered an Alford plea last month to two counts of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct, both gross misdemeanors, in connection with the alleged molestation of a 10-year-old and a 12-year-old. Randall was mayor of Clarkfield from 1998 until the fall of 2004. In 2002, he ran as a Republican in an unsuccessful bid for state representative. (Bobo, 11.5.05)

Robert Ray: "The former prosecutor who negotiated the deal that kept President Bill Clinton from being indicted in the probe of his sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky has been charged with stalking an ex-girlfriend, a law enforcement official said. Robert Ray surrendered to cops last night after Manhattan resident Tracy Loughlin, 40, filed a complaint. "She tried to end it four months ago, but he kept calling her, sending her e-mails and showing up at places he knew she would be," the official said." (Eschaton, 5.12.06)

Ralph Reed: When Ralph Reed was the boyish director of the Christian Coalition, he made opposition to gambling a major plank in his "family values" agenda, calling gambling "a cancer on the American body politic" that was "stealing food from the mouths of children." But now, a broad federal investigation into lobbying abuses connected to gambling on Indian reservations has unearthed evidence that Reed has been surreptitiously working for an Indian tribe with a large casino it sought to protect--and that Reed was paid with funds laundered through two firms to try to keep his lucrative involvement secret.

George Roche III, president of Hillsdale College: George Roche III, president of Hillsdale since 1971 and a fund raiser who topped $325 million during his tenure by tapping conservative wealth, resigned shortly after his daughter-in-law, Lissa Roche, committed suicide on the campus following her revelation to Roche's son, George IV, that she had had an affair since 1980 with George III who had divorced his wife of 44 years in April 1999 then surprised everyone with an October 1999 second marriage which quickly dissipated into a separation followed a few weeks later by a reconciliation which precipitated Lissa's confession in what had to be some kind of awkward moment of confrontation among the four aforementioned players.

***Beverly Russell, leader in the Republican Party, the Christian Coalition and Pat Robertson's presidential campaign: caused the breakup of Susan Smith's parents' marriage, resulting in her father's suicide when she was 6 years old. This might have caused her stepfather to do everything possible to give her support and make up to her some of the horror and turmoil she had experienced, but not Beverly Russell. He began molesting her when she was 15, all the while aware that she was emotionally fragile (she had attempted suicide two years before). Smith later killed her own children. (NWW, 8.7.95)

Joe Scarborough, Florida: Divorced wife in 1999. Scarborough got a divorce. Then he suddenly resigned from Congress, just six months after re-election. (Invoked old fallback excuse of wanting to "spend more time" with children.) Then he suddenly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun. Then, just as suddenly, Lori Klausutis, 28-year-old staffer to Scarborough, was found dead in Scarborough's district office in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Date was July 20, 2001. Cause of death: Blow to the head. Conclusion: Heart condition caused her to collapse, fall, hit head on a desk, and die. Story barely a blip on the radar. Lots of people left with lots of questions.

David Schippers, impeachment counsel: Had his own secret mistress for 25 years -- and he had the nerve to bring her to the Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings! Nancy Ruggero was a young secretary in his office nearly Monica Lewinsky's age when their affair began in the early 1970's. Schippers, now 69, had 10 children with his wife of 45 years, Jackie, whom he called "his one and only sweetheart," on 60 Minutes. Moreover Schippers, who originally trained for the priesthood, is a "papal knight" - one of only several hundred in the world - and told the New Republic that adultery is, indeed, a mortal sin.

(LAT, 10.2.03) Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly had sex with a 16 year old girl when he was 28. (ArmSub, 7.13.05)

Gordon Shadburne, Oregon: His first scandal was sending a letter on county stationery to local fundamentalist churches, preaching that homosexuality was "the stronghold of Satan." Not a big deal, but a bit excessive. But when he was found to have used county money to take his sweetheart shopping in Edmonton, Alberta (of all places) the papers had a field day and he was forced to resign. Because, as you've guessed by now, his sweetheart was a man. And here's the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say: Reporters first started wondering because one of Shadburnes top aides was openly gay; he actually wrote the gay rights law that Shadburne later opposed. True to form, Shadburne fired this highly respected former county commissioner, offering him 4 week's severance pay if he wouldn't talk to the press. This caused another aide to quit. Then a number of sources reported that Shadburne had homosexual affairs himself. Most prominent was the testimony of Shadburne's ex-wife during mediation proceedings. The County Auditor issued a report criticizing Shadburne for paying his long-time friend and former roommate $29,000 in nine months as an independent contractor, despite very poorly documented hours and questionable work output. Shadburne's friend was during this time one of the highest paid public officials in the county, working from home; the commissioners themselves only made $33,000 a year. Finally, the roof caved in. Shadburne quit his commissioner post amid allegations of cocaine use and pile-on orgies during a county-paid business trip, and was convicted twice of using county money for personal business. (SC)

Don Sherwood, Pennsylvania: Repeatedly punched and choked a Maryland woman during a "five-year intimate relationship" with her, according to a lawsuit. Cynthia Ore, 29, of Rockville, Md., says that after each "unprovoked and vicious attack," Sherwood, 64, promised he wouldn't do it again and begged her not to leave him, according to the four-count lawsuit filed by Patrick M.

David D. Smith, president and chief executive officer of Sinclair Broadcast Group: Was arrested in his hometown of Baltimore and charged with a misdemeanor sex offense. Sinclair owns WPGH, the Fox affiliate in Pittsburgh, and programs most of WPTT. The Baltimore Sun reported that Smith, 45, was arrested Tuesday night in an undercover sting at a downtown corner frequented by prostitutes. Sinclair issued a statement that Smith's arrest was unrelated to company business and "The company will continue to operate under the direction of its current management." (Eschaton, 4.30.04) Sinclair is ran by David Smith, who in the mid-1970s was a partner in a company called Cine Processors, according the Los Angeles Times, which cites public records and a former partner in the company as sources. David E. Williams, Smith’s partner in the business, told the Times that Cine Processors’ sole business was the development of 8mm pornographic films. According to Williams, the film company went out of business in 1975 or 1976 after police confiscated film and other materials during an obscenity raid. Baltimore police officials were unable to locate records of the raid, citing the decades since the raid took place as the reason why. (LAT, 10.27.04). Never mind that (David) Smith's own behavior had almost nothing in common with (Sinclair's vice president of corporate relations, Mark) Hyman's moralistic segments. According to several sources close to Smith, the principal owner of Sinclair has never been the paragon of personal virtue that his stations preach and his political allies champion. Having launched his career selling pornographic videos in Baltimore's red-light district during the 1970s, Smith has apparently spent the past thirty years refining that passion. After he was caught by police in 1996 getting a blow job from a prostitute while driving a company Mercedes, his sexual adventures became a matter of public record, but according to his friends, that incident only begins to tell the story. "That was the time he got caught," says one. "He's a whoremonger. A real whoremonger. He loves the titty bars. The only people he likes go to the titty bars with him. Those are the only people he trusts. He also goes out to Vegas all the time. He goes to the high-end titty bars. He's always getting the private upstairs rooms, champagne, the works."

***Jim West, Mayor of Spokane, Wash.: Jim West broke a 2 day silence on Sunday morning by calling the Steven A. Smith, editor of the Spokesman Review with a response to allegations that he masturbated in his office. West and the members of the Pac NW Pedophile clan have been accused of using an at risk boys camp, Morning Star Boys Ranch , as a library of sorts to check out young boys for camping trips and hiking. It is alleged that during these trips the clan molested the young men. Apparently there is another member of the Pac NW Pedophile clan who, as yet, remains un-named. Read on… West, who resigned last week from the boys ranch board of directors, later told Smith he "vaguely remembers" maybe he and Hahn "both took one kid on a hike or camping trip once." The mayor also referred to a story in Saturday's paper in which a man named "Scott" said he was sexually molested by Hahn and reported the conduct to West during a 50-mile Boy Scout hike around Mount Rainier in 1980. Smith said West "couldn't remember the kid. He doesn't recall the incident." West said another adult on the trip, whom he didn't identify, "told him not to worry about it, that we didn't know about sexual abuse in 1980," Smith said in relating the mayor's comments. But West also said, "It may be possible that the kid said something, maybe about being fondled, and maybe I just didn't recognize how important that might have been." West goes on to say he expected there to be more men coming forward. When the newspaper editor asked the mayor if other men claiming to be abuse victims are likely to come forward, he said, "probably so." West, on being gay: "I'm being destroyed because I am a gay man, which is fine. I've been in public life, I can accept that. Because I am a gay man, because of this double life, it has been hell."
